गुडेन पूर्णं सुषिरं मधूच्छिष्टेन वा दहेत् । सप्तच्छदार्कक्षीराभ्यां पूरणं कृमिशूलजित् ॥ २० ॥
The cavity of the teeth should be filled with heated jaggery/treacle or bee's wax so as to burn (cauterize); filling the cavity with the milky sap of saptacchada (Alstonia scholaris) or arka (Calotropis gigantea) cures the pain due to worms (dental caries).
